At least we finally have a consistent ruling.

Time Trap aggro decks are going to get a huge boost from this, but maybe it will be necessary given how much control seems to be coming from the new expansions?

It says that if the blue would be taken out of action, flip the card over and replace the model with the brimstone instead. The brimstone side of the card says that if the fighter is taken out of action, flip the card over and keep the upgrades. (You would then follow the normal rules for taking the model out of action because the fighter’s rules say nothing to the contrary, so you would remove the model from the battlefield.)

Yes, this seems to be the case:

Action > Summon Blue
Blue Dies > Prevent death > flip card to Brimstone > replace model with Brimstone
Brimstone dies > Do not prevent death > flip card back to Blue > replace model with Blue
Repeat

The Blue Horror and the Brimstone Horror are the same fighter, but with two different states. Like a skeleton he can be resurrected, but he doesn't start on the board and switches forms after dying once.

This seems to fly in the face of the "deal 4 cleave damage in one packet" meta that evolved in Shadespire, since you need to deal two separate packets of damage to finish off the Brimstone. It says he is "not driven back" so this also shuts down Trap.

Cards like Lightning Whip seem to be the perfect counter.

Seems like a very strong warband. Horrors can be spawned in enemy territory and requiring at least two activations to kill; that's really annoying!  

The Acolytes only have 2 health and the Tzaangor only has 3... It will be interesting to see how it will deal with aggressive rush decks like Skaven and Reavers, or against a durable ranged opponent like the Farstriders.
